General Sir Roly Walker warns that we must prepare “for an eventuality that could see Russia waging war against the West”, reports Larisa Brown.

    So how many will Ukraine lose? the head of the British army wont answer that
  • @johncr1354
    The Times Radio tells us constantly that Russia is losing badly, losing enormous numbers of men, have no tanks left and we can expect Putin to be overthrown anytime soon. Now we are being told are military chiefs are telling us to get ready as we are next to be attacked and we must be prepared for the conquering Russian hordes. Does anyone else see the problem with this contradiction?

    So now Russia has their Stalingrad as well.. Ironic, they celebrate theirs every year, in the mean while they are doing the same...
  • @Cassp0nk
    So in the way Russia is using Iranian and North Korean weapons inside Ukraine. How is that different to using nato weapons in Russia?
  • @craigmiller4528
    I'm sure North Korea, Iran and China would rather prosecute a war with the West on their own terms rather than give themselves up to Putin's war plans at this point in his THREE DAY WAR ! 😂

    Preisdent Zelensky can offer the range that Ukraine would need to hit certain targets and get approval from the NATO partners for the distance that Ukraine needs to hit certain targets in Russia, I am sure NATO partners can negotiate on this.

    You all forget Putin wiĺl not live forever!!🤔🤔🤨

    Just remember, when a Russian soldier is killed, its not just the loss of him and whatever job he did in civilian life. You are losing the children and grandchildren he might have had. Russia’s population was already declining at serious levels, even before they lost 500,000 troops in Ukraine. The loss of of another 1.5M men and their subsequent descendants will be long term catastrophic for Russia’s economy and population.

    A number of concerns I have. The attention of America has been distracted first by Biden's poor performance in the debate with Trump, then Trump's terrible assassination attempt, then, Biden's standing down in the race, and finally VP Harris' rising star. I'm in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. I've been here five days so far. I've been to Kharkiv and Kupiansk. I've been to Odesa and of course, L'viv and Kyiv. While all of this is going on in America, which is so important, because we American must get this election right. However, whether President Biden, VP Harris, and the Joint Chief of Staff, along with Secs Blinken and Austin, and of course, the American people are focusing enough on what is going on here in Ukraine is concerning to me. It is close to two and a half years since putin started this illegal war. It seems that putin and russia are in a terrible position. However, the war has been tough on Ukrainians too. Whether it is dealing with the power outages in Odesa, Kyiv, Kharkiv and other places or the struggle to stay alive, whether soldier or civilian. Glide bombs even large that the first ones russian aimed at Ukrainian cities are taking a toll. The cities are large. There are so many buildings. The buildings are large. Russia cannot take Ukraine. The country is too large and the cities too formidable. Yet, Ukraine needs a couple things further as the F-16s are about to arrive. First, Ukraine needs to attack further inside russia, not just 100 miles in areas where russia is building up forces to further invade and occupy villages and cities of Ukraine. Secondly, Americans please you need to help Ukraine foundations and volunteer organizations that find supplies to deliver to soldiers, civilians and children. The individual soldier needs more help than what the government gives them as far as military pay, which is more per day, when they fight in battle zones. Foundations that provide assistance for on the ground organizations to supply medication, diapers and food for babies, and everything under the sky that soldiers need, beside bullets, shells and water. I am glad that former President Donald Trump was not killed; I am glad that President Biden will continue to work hard for the American people until his term ends, and I am glad that VP Harris has enough delegates for the Democratic nomination. Please, we must stay focused on putin and in supporting Ukraine in their defeat against russian colonialism and we cannot forget the russian atrocities they have committed, whether in the deaths of children, and civilians, and the destruction of property, including hospitals, schools, playgrounds, houses, businesses and infrastructure. May we never forget the Ukrainian soldiers who have fought, died and who will fight and die in this tragic war. I have been told by Ukrainians that all they want is to live their lives without war like most countries. Soldiers want America to help them end the war for the sake of their children and their parents. Slava Ukraine!

    One has to ask if the population of Muslims, and Asians who live in the east of Russia have that many people to lose. Because we know they sure aren’t coming from the European part of Russia…
